Twitter Everywhere - Use It From Nearly Anywhere

This week Twitter announced a new platform known as @anywhere. The app helps popular websites integrate Twitter features with ease. Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Bing, YouTube, AdAge, MSNBC, Digg, The Huffington Post and The New York Times are a few of Twitter's partners with a headstart on this project.

On the Twitter blog, Biz Stone states: "We've developed a new set of frameworks for adding this Twitter experience anywhere on the web. Soon, sites many of us visit every day will be able to recreate these open, engaging interactions providing a new layer of value for visitors without sending them to Twitter.com."

He went on to say: "Our open technology platform is well known and Twitter APIs are already widely implemented but this is a different approach because we've created something incredibly simple. Rather than implementing APIs, site owners need only drop in a few lines of javascript."

Xerox Sues Google, YouTube And Yahoo

Xerox is suing Google, YouTube and Yahoo due to infringement of Xerox patents on integration and search technologies. Xerox filed the documents about a week ago in Delaware US District Court.

Xerox alleges that Google's AdWords and AdSense services violate the Xerox patent on automatically generating searches. The company goes on to state that Yahoo Search Marketing, Y!Q Contextual Search and Yahoo Publisher Network also infringes on their patent.

They further allege that the Google Video, Google Maps, YouTube and Yahoo Shopping services all violate the Xerox patent on technology that integrates information from different sources.

The patents at issue in this case are U.S. Patent 6,778,979 and U.S. Patent 6,236,994.
